So you win the lottery, what's the first thing you do to your 4g???
Rules: List what you would do to your current 4G. Don't list things such as new car you would buy etc. Remember, you won the lottery so sky is the limit.
I would immediately start working on an AWD conversion and convert my automatic transmission to a manual 6 speed. After words would work on rebuilding the motor with stronger internals and building a F/I kit to supercharge that beast. Not to forget a new paint job, rims, and I would def have to get me a set of those sexy brembo brakes for it too. |

step 1: quit my job
step 2: pay off my Spyder, drive it to RRE and give Mike W a blank cheque for RWD conversion, wide bodykit, beefed-up engine and whatever else he feels like. SPice up the interior with some new tech gizmos, etc... step 3: go buy a few nice cars to kill time while the build progresses. |

Twin turbo, tranamission built with different gears, new axels made to handle the kind of power I want, stand alone, let the best tuner I can find tune it, have everything I already have pulled out and redone better

Swap motors between my GT and my VR4, then buy the new Audi S5 as my DD.

1) Remove radiator cap. Hold it three feet above ground.
2) Purchase Evo X. 3) Drive X underneath radiator cap. 4) Replace radiator cap. 360 horsepower awd Eclipse, in less than an hour. Than I'd gut the crap out of my actual Eclipse, drop a v6 and a rollcage in there and start taking it to a lap day every second day.

I would buy a Spyder V6 and another GT, the last year with the 6 spd manual. Then, I would build my current one to sleeper status. I'm thinking of CF everything, and fiberglass the other things that aren't done in CF, repaint it, even the CF parts (to keep the sleeper status), lighter windshields (flexiglass I think it's called), and then get some serious modding in the engine and transmission. I would pay a dedicated tuner to finally crack the ECU and then I would post the way to crack it here as a gift to you all. Maybe go twin turbos with NOS, though it's very likely that I would end with an NA beast and a FI with NOS beast. The Spyder will be my "hey look at me" car, and it will get the best cosmetic enhancements plus some go fast parts, and the ECU treatment. Thanks for the trip!!

^^LOL I feel the same way sometimes man.
I'd get the one thing left I need, N2O, then I'm done with it. It stays a daily driver and I buy a house. The rest goes in the bank and I'd retire at 22 and live of the interest rate

I would buy coilovers, cf mod hood with matching ra eyelids,aero body kit, and then store it until my 9 year old sons 16th birthday..(he would have one of the coolest cars at his high school)
Then I would buy a supercar and a daily luxury sport...(Lexus LFA & Audi S4)

It's been a long journey. I bout it at $13,500. Put 4k down, and made double or triple payments 80% of the time up until now (got the car in May 2010).
So paid off in less then two years, I'll take it! ![]() And now that it's about to be paid off, it's modding time

I'd take it to West Coast Customs have them make it fugly looking and then resell it for an overpriced amount. In the meantime I would get an actual sports car, Ferrari F430 Scuderia, take professional driving lessons and enjoy life.
